A Physicist's Guide to Managing Career Breaks and Achieving
Equilibrium A Physicist’s Guide to Managing Career Breaks and Achieving Career Balance Few would argue that a high level of commitment is required to be successful as a physicist, but there is a difference between being committed to your career and devoting every waking minute to it. Sadly, this difference is not always accepted and many excellent, highly qualified physicists are lost to science, technology and engineering because they aren’t aware of options that will allow them to balance their professional lives with other demands, or aren’t supported to do so. This guide has been written to demonstrate how career breaks can be managed effectively and how a better balance between work and life can be achieved. Written by Dr Sara Shinton www.shintonconsulting.com Equilibrium: A Physicist’s Guide to Managing Career Breaks and Achieving Career Balance 3 Foreword At some point in our lives, most of us working in physics will find issues of work-life balance come to the fore. Maybe we find ourselves facing the challenge of caring responsibilities, which can extend far beyond simply becoming a new parent. Or perhaps we just want time to explore other options for months or years, or rebalance our working life by reducing the hours worked to allow time for other activities. This guide provides invaluable information on resources that the Institute of Physics (IOP) itself Taking control many aspects of how to approach such matters, provides for before, and during, any career break. designed to ensure that an individual has all the by being well facts at their fingertips and also understands how This guide can thus be seen as an excellent guide informed can best to approach their bosses or line managers to to have to hand as thoughts of stepping back from ensure that any achieve a “win-win” situation. -

Many degrees now include industrial training and focus on developing specific skills, so you might expect employers to have their pick of great candidates. The truth, though, is that every time a group of employers is surveyed, they identify skills shortages and a need for high- calibre candidates with particular technical or personal expertise. A PhD gives you the chance to develop technical knowledge and skills to a very high level, but the nature of research is such that you will also have the opportunity to develop a broader set of valuable professional skills. -

Australian SF News 17 Binns 1980-03
FABER To Publish VANE GLORY GEORGE TURNER'S Second SF Novel GEORGE TURNER'S eagerly-awaited second science fiction novel , VANE GLORY , will be published by Faber publishers in Spring U.K. 1981. He has received an advance for the book which to our knowledge , far exceeds any made to an Australian author for an sf novel. Contrary to some earlier reports the book is not a direct sequel to BELOVED SON , although it shares the same 'future history'. George is presently hard at work on a third sf novel which he expects will turn out to be 'somewhat shorter than his first two sf novels'. It would seem most likely that VANE GLORY will be even more successful on the internat ional science fiction scene than his BELOVED SON. Congratulations .George!
